In Music, Nature, Art, and Cell Phone Company Commercials, Rushton features a video of a xylophone in nature.
He gives the following prompts to accompany this video:
“Is this a good commercial for the company? Why or why not?
Did anything strike you as cool about it? Write down one or two things that stood out to you. In your group, and after others have had the chance to write something down, pass what you wrote to the person next to you so everyone gets to read someone else’s idea.
Did you learn something from what stood out to someone else?”
Watching this video was almost hypnotic and fascinating! I kept thinking about the work that went into making this xylophone and how much precision had to be involved! I think this video would inspire many different types of questions and engage students in interesting conversations!
Please check out the video and think of other prompts you might come up with. Please share.
